Josephus mentions Jesus twice. The first quote is at least partially a forgery. The second which mentions Jesus in passing as the brother of James is thought to be authentic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus_on_Jesus Also, Tacitus and Pliny as well as others mention Jesus. Zeitgeist is pure and unadulterated trash. The people who produced it are not scholars and they actually make up a lot of their so called facts about pagan gods.
